description: HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) is the managed-service offering for HashiCorp products
  (Terraform, Vault, Consul, Boundary, Packer, Waypoint, Nomad). HCP Terraform is the most
  publicly priced product, with three pay-as-you-go tiers (Essentials, Standard, Premium) billed
  per managed resource per month or per hour. New customers receive a $500 platform credit usable
  across HCP. Self-managed Terraform Enterprise and HCP Terraform Europe are custom-priced. Other
  HCP products (Vault, Consul, etc.) follow the HCP free-trial-then-PAYG model with their own
  per-product meters.
